LETTER

Dear Members,
Our fiscal year 2019 has ended and
I am pleased to report that our sales
and net income have far exceeded
projections. Our annual audit will be
beginning soon and reports for our
Annual Meeting on Wednesday,
April 1, 2020 will be shared upon completion. A special
thanks to all of our members who have supported the
Club over the last twelve months.
Projections for fiscal year 2020 are optimistic. Veritas
restaurant continues to outperform year over year
and our banquet, member event, overnight room, and
athletic activities have all seen improved results. With
the Club being so active, this is the perfect time to
assist us in the recruitment of new members.
We continue to invest in staff training and development.
A “service culture task force” has been created and
our initial roll out of the program has been completed.
We will once again be sending out our annual “Service
Satisfaction” 10 second survey in November. I kindly
ask that you provide us with your feedback.
Finally, the Club has instituted a “NPS” or Net Promoter
Score in an effort to create a benchmark for this
satisfaction tool and provide us data for areas of
improvement.
Please feel free to contact me directly at
scummings@harvardclub.com or 617-450-8400 if I can
be of service to you.
Sincerely,
Steven P. Cummings, CCM, CCE
General Manager
Dear Members,
Every October over the past quarter
century, the Harvard Club of Boston
hosts a Prize Book Breakfast in
our magnificent Harvard Hall. As
defined by the Harvard Alumni
Association, the Prize Book is
awarded to an outstanding student in the junior class who
“combines excellence in scholarship and high character,
with achievement in other fields.” Harvard Clubs around the
world host these breakfasts and award over 1900 total Prize
Books annually. Last year, the Harvard Club Foundation
alone sent out 322 books to 259 schools! The energy,
vigor and enthusiasm of this event makes it the staff’s most
popular, as we see many of the book recipients attend and
graduate from Harvard, and go on to become members of
our Club. The Board of Governors and I happily recognize
45-year Member Dr. Barbara D. Pulaski, ph’73, Chair Harvard
Club Prize Book Committee for her continued dedication
and loyalty in ensuring we honor our community’s future
generations of leaders in this famed forum. Dr. Pulaski is a
prized Harvard Club gem!
Awards and recognition are important for our youth, and
these high school juniors in later years will look back fondly
at their achievements. However, the future generations
expect more from us than mere accolades. They expect us,
as wise and experienced stewards, to leave them a legacy
that they too can build upon for the next generation, and
so on in perpetuity. The Board and I passionately believe
that our present Harvard Club, while beloved and financially
successful, will no longer be relevant in a generation or two
without significant structural and programming changes.
We respectfully ask for your informed and earned support
as we proceed with our planning and negotiations. We are
firm in our belief that now is the appropriate time to act in
building and growing a Harvard Club of Boston not for our
grandparents, but for our grandchildren. We intend to pass
the torch to future generations, not drop it.
You can learn a great deal about the Board’s development
planning and vision by coming to our Special Meeting
on Wednesday 2 October at 6:30 pm. In addition, we are
continuing our “Roundtable for the Future” series. Please
refer to the roundtable schedule on page 3.
I encourage you to contact me at president@harvardclub.com
with your suggestions, concerns or general remarks.
Donec iterum, Veritas.

AUTHOR SERIES WITH DAN BOYNE
Thursday, October 10, 2019
6:30 pm Reception
6:45 pm Lecture followed by Q&A and Book Signing
Back bay Clubhouse
Don’t miss this special Author Series with Dan Boyne,
director of Recreational Rowing at Harvard and author
of The Seven Seat. Boyne oversees the intramural
rowing program and Harvard’s sculling program and
coordinates the graduate schools’ rowing clubs.
In The Seven Seat, Boyne tells the humorous story
of his freshman year of crew, including sub-plot of
personal redemption against an insufferable football
player who bullied him throughout high school. After
being accepted at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, Boyne
takes up rowing and quickly experiences the unique
rigors, rewards and colorful personalities of the sport,
not knowing that his nemesis had decided to try out
for crew, at rival school Coast Guard Academy. As
racing season approaches, Boyne becomes part of an
exceptional freshman lightweight boat, with high hopes
to win the National Championships, but his final fears
are realized when he discovers that his old high school
archenemy is rowing in the very same position as he
is—the seven seat.
Head of the Charles Regatta takes over the city of
Boston beginning October 19, 2019 and this discussion
is the perfect way to get into the rowing spirit.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Wednesday, October 2, 2019
6:30 pm Registration & Mingling
7:00 pm Discussion followed by Q&A
Back Bay Clubhouse
Artificial Intelligence is advancing, reflecting a growing
tendency to delegate decision-making to algorithms.
Big data, namely the availability of enormous volumes of
data on all kinds of human activity, further enhances the
effectiveness of algorithms. New technology can assist,
but also threaten, the goals surrounding human rights. In
the short-term, these dangers include perpetuating bias
in algorithmic reasoning. In the longer term, concerns
surround the ownership of data, the increasing power
of technology companies, and changes in the nature
of work. This C&PP explores the ways in which artificial
intelligence will affect human life, and its emerging ethics
and human rights-related questions.
Price per person: $15 (plus *Club charge & tax) includes
reception fare and lecture. A cash bar will be available.
Click here to register.
The Harvard Club of Boston is proud to partner with the Harvard
Kennedy School New England Alumni Association to offer this event.
For the month of October we’re serving a
traditional Schnitzel and Späetzle at the Downtown
Clubhouse for lunch and dinner. You’ll get a lightly
breaded veal medallion sauteed in butter, lemon,
and white wine, house-made Späetzle and a side
of Yukon gold potatoes.
$25 per person (plus *Club charge & tax). Available
at the Downtown Clubhouse only.
You don’t have to leave Boston for

DISCUSSION GROUP
Friday, October 11, 2019
8:00 am—9:00 am
Downtown Clubhouse
The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis, is our
October selection.
What are the consequences if the people
given control over our government have
no idea how it works? “The election
happened,” remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then
deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. “And then
there was radio silence.” Trump appointees were few
and far between; those that did show up were shockingly
uninformed about the functions of their new workplace.
Some even threw away the briefing books that had been
prepared for them. Michael Lewis gives us a look at a
government under attack by its own leaders.
Optional à la carte breakfast service will be available in
The Crimson starting at 7:00 am. Members and guests
are welcome.*
*Participation fee for non-members (must be registered
as a guest by a member): $5, includes discussion and
coffee. Registration for members is required for this

AUTHOR SERIES WITH SEAN CARROLL
Thursday, October 24, 2019
6:15 pm Registration and Mingling
6:30 pm Lecture Followed by Q&A
Back Bay Clubhouse
New York Times bestselling author and Caltech physicist
Sean Carroll is ready to turn the physics world on its head
by boldly standing behind one of the most contentious
theories in quantum physics—the Many Worlds Theory.
In his new book, Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum
Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime, Carroll suggests
that there are multiple copies of you…and everything else
in our universe.
Carroll explains that physics has been in crisis since 1927
and there are many physicists that would prefer to keep
that crisis under wraps. The Many Worlds Theory states
that every time there is a quantum event, a world splits off
with everything in it the same, except in that other world
that quantum event didn’t happen. For example, as you
read this, you are splitting into multiple copies of yourself
thousands of times per second. Those new copies of
you are spinning out into the universe (splitting again and
again), but you’ll never come into contact with even one
of them.
Carroll has a talent for
making mind blowing
physics concepts
amazingly clear. His
growing popularity
among readers of all
types (scientists and
non-scientists alike)
makes him one of a
handful of physicists
that can sell out a
1,400-seat theatre on a Saturday night to talk about
quantum mechanics to a crowd of cheering fans.
Sean Carroll is a theoretical physicist at the California
Institute of Technology, host of the Mindscape podcast,
and author of From Eternity to Here, The Particle at the
End of the Universe, and The Big Picture. He has been
awarded prizes and fellowships by the National Science
Foundation, NASA, the American Institute of Physics, and
the Royal Society of London, among many others.

Back Bay Clubhouse
If you enjoy stimulating conversations
about good books, join our Book
Club. For October, we will read The
Testaments by Margaret Atwood.
More than fifteen years after the events
of The Handmaid’s Tale, the theocratic
regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on
power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within.
At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different
women converge, with potentially explosive results.
As Atwood unfolds The Testaments, she opens up the
innermost workings of Gilead as each woman is forced to
come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for
what she believes.
Price per person: $20 (plus *Club charge & tax) includes,
reception fare and discussion. A cash bar will be available.

CHEF’S
CORNER Dear Members,
Crisp mornings and warm afternoons means fall is in full swing. It also means the
Club will introduce new menus highlighting seasonal products and ingredients. At the
Downtown Clubhouse, stop by for dinner in The Crimson and try our whiskey braised
lamb shank served with sweet potato puree and pickled cabbage or the 14 oz NY strip
steak with dauphinoise potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts. We’ve also rolled out
new cocktail menus; ask Maria or Elvis to try the Autumn Fizz or the Pumpkin Spice
White Russian.
As part of our Harvard Club with a Heart initiative, we
would like to congratulate Burt, Costa, Angel and Martha
from the Downtown Clubhouse for completing the Ninth
Annual ‘Ride for Angels’ on September 7, 2019. The ride
raised funds for Angel Flight Northeast, which provides free
flights to those who need access to medical care. For more
information about the organization or to donate, visit
http://www.angelflightne.org/.
We look forward to seeing you at the Club.

AUTHOR SERIES WITH MAX GOMEZ
Monday, November 4, 2019
6:00 pm Registration Mingling
6:15 pm Lecture followed by QA
Back Bay Clubhouse
Dr. Max Gomez is an author and an award-winning
broadcast journalist. He is an expert moderator, speaker,
emcee and is renowned for his clear, concise presentations
of complex medical information to a wide range of
audiences. In his book Cells Are the New Cure, Dr. Gomez
takes you on a tour of the most exciting and leading-
edge developments in medicine. You’ll meet the doctors
performing the lifesaving research, and the patients who
have survived illnesses that were once considered a
death sentence.
The key to these breakthroughs is the use of living cells as
medicine instead of traditional drugs. Research has found
that our bodies are virtual treasure troves of adult cells
that act as agents of remarkable healing and repair. These
cells are called adult stem cells because they resemble
embryonic cells in their ability able to transform into many
other cell types, but without the ethical and moral concerns
of embryonic cells.
Promising treatments in more than 35,000 clinical trials
could have dramatic impacts on
cancer, autoimmune diseases,
organ replacement, heart disease,
and even aging itself. These
treatments, which are saving the
lives of patients in the trials, will
soon be rolled to the medical
community at large.
Dr. Gomez graduated cum laude
from Princeton University, with a
Ph.D. from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
He was also a N.I.H. Postdoctoral Fellow at New York’s
Rockefeller University. He has served on the national
board of directors for the American Heart Association,
the Princeton Alumni Weekly and the Partnership for
After School Education. Dr. Gomez has produced award-
winning health and science segments and has reported
for Dateline, Today Show and 48 Hours. Over nearly three
decades, he’s earned nine Emmy Awards, three New York
State Broadcasters Association awards and UPIs Best
Documentary award.
